This file claims to be based on the "MPlayer VA-API patch", but this is
untrue. Only some glue code was copied from hwdec_vaglx.c, and this glue
code was never in MPlayer or the MPlayer VA-API patch in any form, and
instead part of the mpv-original way we do hardware decoding OpenGL
interop. The EGL interop method didn't exist at the time the MPlayer
VA-API patch was created either.
Older systems have certain EGL extension definitions missing. We
redefine them to make the build system easier, and because it's trivial.
But we forgot to define the EGL_LINUX_DMA_BUF_EXT identifier. (I hope
it's the only missing one.)
There are at least 2 ways of using VAAPI without X11 (Wayland, DRM).
Remove the X11 requirement from the decoder part and the EGL interop.
This will be used by a following commit, which adds Wayland support.
The worst about this is the decoder part, which includes a bad hack for
using the decoder without any VO interop (also known as "vaapi-copy"
mode). Separate the X11 parts so that they're self-contained. For the
EGL interop code we do something similar (it's kept slightly simpler,
because it essentially only has to translate between our silly
MPGetNativeDisplay abstraction and the vaGetDisplay...() call).
It looks like my hope that we can unconditionally include EGL headers in
the OpenGL code is not coming true, because OSX does not support EGL at
all. So I prefer loading the VAAPI EGL/GL specific extensions manually,
because it's less of a mess. Partially reverts commit d47dff3f.
Probe the surface format, and check whether it's really something we
support. This also does a complete check whether the EGL interop works
at all (the only way to find this out is actually running this code).
Also, support YV12. Under some circumstances, vaapi (with Intel
drivers) can be made to use this format.
Unfortunately, the Intel drivers show some very weird behavior, which
is hopefully a bug. insane_hack() provides a very evil workaround (see
comments). A proper solution might be passing the hw format as part of
mp_image_params, but as long as hw surfaces appear to be able to change
the format on the fly, attempting this is probably not worth the extra
complexity and likely fragility. The hack allows us to pretend that
there is sane behavior for now.
Checking and resetting the VAImage.buf field is non-sense, even if it
happened to work out in the normal case. buf is actually freed when
vaDestroyImage() is called (not quite intuitive), and we need an extra
field to know whether vaReleaseBufferHandle() has to be called.
Add the upstream symbolic names as comments. Normally, these should be
defined in libdrm's drm_fourcc.h header. But DRM_FORMAT_R8 and
DRM_FORMAT_GR88 are not defined anywhere, except in the kernel userland
headers of Linux 4.3 (!). We don't want mpv to depend on bleeding-edge
Linux kernel headers, so this will have to do.
Also, just for completeness, add fourccs for the 3 and 4 channel
formats. I didn't manage to test them, though.
Reduces the amount of hardcoded assumptions about the layout
drastically. (Now adding yuv420 support would be just adjusting an if,
if you ignore the other problems, such as determining the hw format at
all early enough.)
Don't call eglDestroyImageKHR() on the same ID possibly more than once.
Clear the image reference on termination, or we would leak up to 1 image
per VO recreation.
Should work much better than the old GLX interop code. Requires Mesa 11,
and explicitly selecting the X11 EGL backend with:
--vo=opengl:backend=x11egl
Should it turn out that the new interop works well, we will try to
autodetect EGL by default.
This code still uses some bad assumptions, like expecting surfaces to be
in NV12. (This is probably ok, because virtually all HW will use this
format. But we should at least check this on init or so, instead of
failing to render an image if our assumption doesn't hold up.)
This repo was a lot of help: https://github.com/gbeauchesne/ffvademo
The kodi code was also helpful (the magic FourCC it uses for
EGL_LINUX_DRM_FOURCC_EXT are nowhere documented, and
EGL_IMAGE_INTERNAL_FORMAT_EXT as used in ffvademo does
not actually exist).
(This is the 3rd VAAPI GL interop that was implemented in this player.)
